Mavo – TWC – Mike Souza – Mitchvman – Al Oha – chickentorta – SFFANNOKC – have all made me want to log on as quickly as possible (in the past0 to see what they all had up their sleeve, but Saturday was mostly exhausting reading the back-and-forth while all the time trying to dodge the insane new version of Sargento/dtsrekshtr (landmines)

Did not go to the game and I am not really having a good time listening to the 28 year old Sanchez have his self-induced-meltdowns through the first part of the game. Kudos to Mitchvman for producing the word I was looking for – As Atlanta definately GAME PLANNED – for their successful battle with the Giants in games one and two and so far today.

No problem! Lets win one Today!

Wisdom Cow

Agreed that Bochy needs to intercede and Timmy needs to get over it. Time and age, Time and age! (By the Way, The Playboy interview literally just came out this week. That was the only reason why I was citing it. The content was direct and dead on to yesterday’s situation). However, Tim has stated varied issues in the past about the importance to him of a catcher. My hunch here was that Bochy wanted to give Buster the day off and that was it! I truly believe Bochy did not even think of perhaps waiting till Sunday after a potential rubber-game. Giving, Sanchez his “favorite” catcher Eli and Resting Posey for 2 days in a row instead of 1 off 1 on 1 off. Seems like an awfully simple scenario. Simply I think It just passed Bochy by. Sometimes, when you have your Best pitcher on the mound you pencil in that W not realizing that you actually have to play the game and have the right personnel behind him. Let’s hope today Bochy doesn’t decide to rest 3 starters for Sanchez. His psyche is obviously much worse than Timmy’s and that would be another huge mistake!

I suggest we all take that route…but I must admit that it is so darn hard to do. Honestly, I probably can’t ignore that person I will not speak of, but it is worth a shot.

Sun, 24 Apr 2011 15:47:13 +0000http://blogs.mercurynews.com/extrabaggs/?p=5073#comment-79697Rambling, I forgot to add what I wanted to touch on most.

Lets assume Tim REALLY doesn’t like throwing to anyone but Posey. Let’s assume it shakes him up mentally, he becomes uncomfortable, and begins to lose confidence in himself. If that were the case, then I applaud Bochy for resting Posey. It is something Tim will have to get over.

If Posey gets hurt the day before a huge game Tim is starting, do you want it to be without any practice throwing to Whiteside, or a different catcher, in a game situation? While I am one who believes the games in April are just as important as those in September, it’s definitely better to work on this type of presumed mental aspect early in the season.

Sun, 24 Apr 2011 15:41:31 +0000http://blogs.mercurynews.com/extrabaggs/?p=5073#comment-79696It’s almost an argument between logic and emotion. IMO, the numbers, over large samples, support Mavo, while the hunch-side of things (and being right on this game’s prediction) supports mitchvman. I think yesterday was a combo of both.

Not trying to be critical of your opinion (or diminish it), mitchvman, because I already agreed that you were right, at least in part. But to be fair, just because he didn’t have it today doesn’t mean it was because of Whiteside. Tim has thrown far worse to Posey. However, I have little doubt throwing to Whiteside did put Tim out of his comfort zone. Everyone knows that a player’s mind is subject to what that player believes helps him, no matter how ridiculous it may actually be. Confidence matters.

On quoting Playboy: They have articles? jk. Even if you do not have respect for Playboy’s publications (which are arguably much more reliable than the New York Times this decade), what mattered was that there were quotes from Tim being relied upon. So, unless you are going to accuse Playboy of misquoting Lincecum, citing Playboy carries more weight regarding Tim’s mental game than the guesses of any writer for the SportingNews (mental side, not mechanics – though with Tim, they don’t necessarily get his mechanics either, lol).

I know both of you were fighting back with the personal insults. I’ve been guilty of it on more than one occasion because of our favorite non-com. Unfortunately, we’re going to end up with “waiting for moderation” again, I fear. That killed the site for a month last season.

This board rocks because the traffic is not so high as to be unreadable (McCovey Chronicles gameday boards give sensory overload), but tends to offer enough differing opinions to make you think.

Anyways, just giving some morning thoughts while my daughter casts mistrusting glances at me. I guess she was too young for my joke this morning. She woke to me screaming out the back window, “I don’t care what your name is, long ears, get those eggs off my lawn!”
